CBK volunteers for SMW 2012

Firstly, can CBK members who are attending the SMW show please let me know. We need people to look after the table throughout the show. Though there is core of regulars more help is always needed, especially this year as Greg and Tom both have their own SIG displays to look after.

For any newbies, table duty means talking to the public about the display, CBK SIG and modelling in general. Keeping an eye on the display so that nothing gets damaged or nicked. The CBK SIG prides itself on engaging with the punters - we don't sit around scowling and ignoring the public. It's great fun and you get to meet some interesting people and occasionally the odd gifted CBK! If you can only help out for an hour that would be great as it means someone can go and stretch their legs and get a bite to eat. Even if you haven't built any models for this year's display this is a chance to get involved and to bask in the glory of what is sure to be another very popular display.

Secondly, every year we also provide voluntary staff to help IPMS with the running of the show. This is for just a 1 hour shift. This year we've been asked to provided 2 volunteers on Sat and Sun to help run the Kitswap. This is your opportunity to give a little back to the IPMS(UK) who organise the world's largest model show on a purely voluntary basis. Apart from a warm glow you get a free T-shirt too!

James,

I am planning to attend this year, but it may only be on one day. Probably Saturday, but I have not firmed up the plans with management, yet.

I'm happy to do an hour desk duty.

regards,

Martin

I'll be there as early as I can on Friday (as I've got the table cloths!) and will be on duty all weekend on the CBK tables. Put me down for an hour either day volunteering then let me know nearer the time where and when I'm needed. I'll need an unloading/parking permit as usual also.
Cheers
Al.

As you know I'll be there for the whole weekend James and will be happily splitting my time between the CBK and CC stands, which is made a whole lot easier with them being side-by-side. I've got to do voluteering stints as part of the CC SiG, from memory I think Phil has me down for front desk duty on both days in the morning but I'd be happy to take a stint for the CBK team as well.

Regards

Tom
